Custom Tactile Sensors, Cabling & Pressure Sensors

  • For AR/VR and robotics, the Loomia Electronic Layer can be used for end effector tactile sensing and refined cabling.

    We collaborate with each company to customize our tactile sensors (FSRs) and ultra flexible cabling for your needs.

    • Can scale up to 20,000 units per week in an ISO 9001 facility

    • Ultra-Flexible form-factor avoids wire tangling and weight.

    • Sensor size can range from 1" x 2" up to 20" x 24".

    • Sensitivity down to .8N

  • The Loomia Electronic Layer is ultra-flexible, making it the perfect solution for high-motion-area pressure sensing. Our technology can be used to map surfaces on fingertips, headbands, and robotic end-effectors. Our sensors are fully customizable able to sense a gentle touch, to body weight. Contact us for a free tactile sensor sample.

  • Our LEL can be designed to support high current applications for dress packages or for smaller robotic cabling challenges. Custom assemblies can be developed in as little as 6 weeks to support prototyping and production needs.

Example: End-Effector Sensing

The Loomia Electronic Layer (LEL) was used by Festo to create a 131 point tactile sensor array for a robotic hand end effector. The resulting sensor allowed the Festo robot to handle lightweight and delicate items such as apples, textiles, and more. Turn on the video audio to learn why Festo chose Loomia for their Engineering Challenges.
